Python Webinar IV – Automation, Scripting, and Real-World Workflows

Duration: 3 Hours
Level: Intermediate
Format: Live Human Online Webinar with Guided Labs (Visual Studio Code)


Webinar Schedule (3 Hours)

Session 1: Thinking in Automation

  • What makes a task a good automation candidate

  • Translating manual steps into program logic

  • Inputs, processing, and outputs in real workflows

  • Script-based thinking vs application development

Lab 1:

  • Break down a manual task into automation steps

  • Create a simple Python script to execute those steps

  • Run and test the script in Visual Studio Code


Session 2: Building Practical Python Scripts

  • Working with files, folders, and directories

  • Looping through multiple inputs

  • Using functions to structure automation scripts

  • Adding basic logging and status messages

Lab 2:

  • Build a script that processes multiple files

  • Generate summary output or reports

  • Improve readability and reusability


Session 3: End-to-End Workflow Automation

  • Combining data handling, logic, and error handling

  • Making scripts reusable and configurable

  • Testing workflows and handling edge cases

  • Preparing scripts for real-world use

Lab 3:

  • Build a complete automation workflow

  • Accept input, process data, and generate output

  • Validate results and refine the script


Webinar Description

Python Webinar IV focuses on using Python the way it’s used in real organizations: to automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and reduce manual effort. This hands-on webinar moves beyond isolated examples and into complete, end-to-end scripting scenarios.

Participants learn how to think about problems as workflows, translate those workflows into Python scripts, and refine them into reliable automation tools. Each lab builds toward practical solutions that can be adapted for reporting, file processing, data cleanup, and operational tasks.

All exercises are completed using Visual Studio Code, reinforcing professional scripting practices and development habits that carry over to real projects.


Lab & Exercise Structure

Each lab is:

  • Based on real-world automation scenarios

  • Instructor-led with live explanation

  • Incremental and practical

  • Built and executed in Visual Studio Code

Participants leave with working scripts that can be customized and reused.
